Who is Snezana Calic?
Snezana Calic is a chef from Victoria who first competed on MasterChef Australia in season 16, finishing 15th, and returned for the "Back to Win" season 17 in 2025. Born in Croatia and raised in Serbia, she emigrated to Australia in 2009. Snezana grew up learning to cook traditional Mediterranean and Serbian dishes from her mother and has a deep connection to her Balkan heritage. She currently works in financial services but aspired to change her career path through the MasterChef experience.
In the kitchen, Snezana is known for her homely, hearty meals—pastas, stews, curries, and soups—with a style inspired by Jamie Oliver’s unstructured cooking and her mother's culinary wisdom. Since her previous appearance, she has broadened her skills by working in restaurant kitchens, cooking at pop-up dining events, and working on a cookbook featuring Mediterranean and Serbian recipes. Snezana is passionate about fostering a love of food in her family and hopes to one day open a rural, home-style café.
